As a continuation of the previous research, this educational Internet site is meant to
facilitate potential users' performance and expand the variety of buildings, earthquake
exposure and types of
seismic control
devices. The project, abbreviated as EPETO, has had the following stages:

Stage One

1.

Modify EPET to describe a building model deformation in two orthogonal horizontal
directions while an earthquake input in those directions is not, necessarily, the same.

2.

Provide 3-D animation of a seismic loading, use five colors to depict the basic
damage categories of the building and visualize its damage or collapse.

Stage two

In addition to the sliding base isolators like, for example, Earthquake protector, provide
ability to evaluate the earthquake-protective effect of other types of base isolation.

Stage three

In addition to different types of base isolators, provide ability to evaluate the
earthquake-protective effect of seismic dampers
installed in a building superstructure.
